Did you know that the average middle class worker on Taiwan is a millionaire?
Or that everyone who retires in Singapore receives Social Security benefits to the tune of millions? In Singapore, the FICA tax is 50% of your paycheck, and all of it is kept in trust, not spent; and then it is returned at retirement age with interest... that's why Singapore is the richest per capital nation on earth. Did you know that Singapore was the poorest per capita nation on earth in 1960? The people followed one man, who turned it around. He told a bunch of rice farmers to learn to build semi-conductors. Crazy, right? Then he instituted a 50% FICA tax on the whole nation. Total nutcase.
Would you believe me if I told you water freezes at 0 degrees Celsius? Would you believe me if I told you ice melts at 0 degrees Celsius? Would you believe me if I told you that it all depends on whether the air temp is colder or warmer than 0 degrees Celsius? Like when you put trays of water in your freezer... does the colder than 0 degrees Celsius freezer air freeze the water or melt the ice in the other ice trays? Would you believe degs if he told you that the freezer air was melting ice instead of freezing water? Or would you believe me that no ice melts from air that is colder than 0 degrees Celsius? What do you think is melting the Arctic ice cap ... air temps that get up to freezing in the summertime and get down to 50 below zero Farenheit in the winter? ... or an active volcano under the ice cap that just erupted in 1999?
World politics is a lot like three spoiled children fighting over the same toy... I wonder how many people are going to die over some islands where no one lives?
go figure.

these guys are looking each other in the eye. I didn't know that everyone uses English to identify their government ships.

Six Chinese patrol ships have entered Japanese waters around a disputed island chain, while anti-Japan protests continued on the streets of Beijing.
